There’s nothing more common than hover states to give your website some life. The user comes to your site, scrolls over an image with their mouse cursor, and the image changes. That’s it. While I spent most of 2012 learning backend programming with Ruby on Rails, I’m only recently spending more time improving my frontend development skills. Earlier this week, I needed to implement the hover state effect so I researched what the best practice was. All of the tutorials and tips I could find were unclear, outdated, or plain confusing so I decided I’d write my own.
